Key Stage 2
From Years 3 to 6 (ages 7-11 years), our innovative curriculum at Aspenshire International School has been meticulously crafted for the twenty-first century learner. Our goal is not only to inspire and engage young minds but also to instill a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Aligned with the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum of England, our curriculum provides a robust framework for academic excellence. We ensure that our students master essential skills in subjects such as English, mathematics, science, and more, setting them up for success in their educational journey and beyond.
But we go beyond mere academic achievement. At the heart of our approach is a focus on core subject skills, providing our students with a solid foundation upon which to build their knowledge and understanding. However, we also offer a diverse range of exciting opportunities for them to apply their learning in real-world contexts. Whether it's through hands-on projects, collaborative activities, or immersive experiences, we cater to each child's unique learning needs in an integrated and meaningful way.
But education at AIS is about more than just academic achievement. We believe in nurturing the whole child, fostering qualities like self-awareness, personal development, global awareness, and a sense of community. Our curriculum is designed to cultivate well-rounded, community-spirited, and responsible young citizens who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.
Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door at AIS. We believe in the power of experiential learning, which is why we offer a multitude of inspirational opportunities outside of traditional lessons. From enriching day trips to immersive residential visits and acts of service learning, our students have countless chances to excel personally and academically while exploring the world around them.
Key Stage 2 Technology
At Aspenshire International School, we integrate technology seamlessly into the Key Stage 2 curriculum, enhancing learning experiences across subject areas. Our dedicated Computing teachers specialize in guiding students to develop their IT skills, confidence, and proficiency as they progress through the school.
In addition to core IT skills, our specialist teachers offer a diverse range of projects tailored to each year group's termly topics. From coding and programming to computer-aided manufacturing using 3D printers, students delve into hands-on activities that ignite creativity and problem-solving skills. They explore image editing using a variety of applications, from Pixlr to Photoshop, and engage in film production, including static studio work, stop-motion animation, and scripted narratives inspired by Shakespeare's plays.
Every student at our school maintains a digital portfolio, providing parents with valuable insights into their child's learning journey. Each year group area is equipped with a wide array of technology.
At Aspenshire International School, we are committed to staying at the forefront of educational technology. As part of our efforts to provide engaging and immersive learning experiences, we harness the power of Green Screen technology in our purpose-built Green Screen studio. This innovative tool allows students to transport themselves to different locations, eras, or even imaginary worlds, enhancing their understanding of various topics and fostering creativity. Whether they're delivering weather forecasts from around the globe, reenacting historical events, or bringing characters from literature to life, Green Screen technology offers endless possibilities for exploration and storytelling. By integrating this cutting-edge technology into our curriculum, we inspire curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills in our students, preparing them to thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
At Aspenshire International School, we embrace technology as a catalyst for innovation and creativity, preparing our students for the digital world of tomorrow.
